Reviews & Scores

We at BestIncorporates are extremely passionate about the business formation world. We think that forming a business ought to be easy, affordable, and empowering—and that's why we exist to assist. Like numerous of our readers, we utilized an online formation service when we started our own business, and the great experience we had motivated us to create a platform to provide genuine, in-depth insights.

We offer professional reviews and comparisons so you can make informed selections with confidence and choose the optimum service for your business formation.

Our Scoring System

You'll discover two kinds of scores on BestIncorporates that enable you to rapidly analyze the services we review:

• Advertiser Score (1–5 stars)
• Comparison Page Score (1–10 scale)

Our scores are drawn from comprehensive research, hands-on testing, and data analysis—so you know they represent true-world usability and value.

Advertiser Score (1–5 Stars)

Every service we test gets a star rating based on an in-depth evaluation of essential features, pricing, ease of use, customer service, and overall value. These ratings are shown on individual review pages.

What We Test

We test mostly LLC formation services, but we also examine other ancillary offerings like:

• Registered agent services
• EIN purchase
• Operating agreement templates
• Business name registration
• Compliance tools
• Domain name and website services

Every review addresses the following:

✅ Ease of Use

We review how easy to use and intuitive the platform is. Is the site easy for users to get around? Is the pricing and packaging transparent and clear? An easy, problem-free experience counts—and it's something we check for.

✅ Product Features

Business formation sites tend to offer a bundle of services. We review the usefulness and pertinence of those features—from simple LLC filing to bonus benefits such as registered agents, compliance tracking, and even marketing services.

✅ Pricing

We analyze each provider's pricing model and how it compares to the competition. We review if the service is a good value, what's in each package, and how transparent upfront the brand is when it comes to costs. Quality and affordability are a top priority.

✅ Customer Support

Top-notch support is a game-changer—particularly when launching a business. We consider the support avenues that are open (such as live chat, phone, or email), the quality of the responses, wait times, and if helpful resources such as FAQs or learning centers are offered by the company.

✅ Brand Reputation

We monitor customer reviews on sites such as Trustpilot and the Better Business Bureau to determine overall user satisfaction and trustworthiness. How a brand stands with actual users is important to us—and to you.

Comparison Page Score (1–10 Scale)

Along with full review pages, we have comparison pages upon which we compare and review several services side-by-side. These pages allow you to see a wider picture of how each provider compares in important areas.

On these pages, each product is rated out of 10 based on:

• Product or service quality for the given category (e.g., LLC filing, registered agent)
• Relevance and engagement by our audience
• Advertising revenue (see disclaimer below)
• Historical exchange rates and user reviews

We update these scores from time to time as services change, prices fluctuate, and new information becomes available.

Disclaimer: Advertising Fee

To maintain BestIncorporates entirely free for our users, we can be compensated by featured partner brands on our website. This compensation can affect the ranking of services on comparison pages, and the services that are listed in particular positions.

All that being said, our independent editorial reviews are based on actual research, analysis, and experience. Affiliate partnerships may affect visibility but not our opinions or the integrity of our review process.

Final Thoughts

We aim to give you the most precise, impartial, and current information so that you can make the optimal choices for your company. That said, as services and products may change from time to time, we advise you to double-check each provider's official site for the latest information.

Before you make a decision, we also suggest that you read our entire Terms of Use and compare several sources if necessary.
